Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 72 Old comrades

   Hearing this, Li Xiaolian's face froze, and she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she couldn't help but fall into silence.

   Seeing this, Chen Aiguo was startled, put down the water cup in his hand, and said anxiously, "Xiaolian, what's the matter, did something happen to Tietou and Junzi?"

   "No, no, Brother Tietou and Brother Junzi are all right, just"

   Before Li Xiaolian could finish speaking, footsteps sounded outside the house, followed by a knock on the door.

   "It should be my dad and my little sister coming back. Uncle Aiguo, what do you want to ask, you should ask my dad directly." After Li Xiaolian finished speaking, she got up and went to open the door.

   "Dad, little sister"

   "Hey, big sister, are there any guests at home?" Before anyone could appear, a heavy voice came from outside the door.

   "Dad, Uncle Aiguo and Brother Ayao are back."

   "Old Li" saw Li Xinghua who was about the same age as himself, but his temples were already a little gray, and Chen Aiguo had some feelings.

   "Old Chen, Yao, why are you here?"

  Li Xinghua was both surprised and delighted when he saw the two of them coming. The three of them hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and they were somewhat happy to see each other again.

   After greeting Li Xinghua, Chen Aiguo hurriedly said: "Old Li, let's chat later, let me ask you, what happened to Tietou and Junzi?"

  "Uh" Li Xinghua's face froze when he heard the words, he glanced at Chen Aiguo, then sighed, squatted down, reached out and took a stool for eating and sat down.

  Li Xinghua said in a low tone: "The old sister-in-law is ill, overworked and unable to move in the hospital. The doctor said that if the operation is not performed again, I am afraid that she will have to lie in bed in the future."

   Having said this, Li Xinghua paused for a while, then continued: "Tie Tou and Junzi went to the mountain ghost to collect medical expenses for the old sister-in-law."

   Hearing this, Chen Aiguo widened his eyes and roared: "The old sister-in-law is ill, why didn't you call me to inform me? Didn't I leave a phone call for you when I left with Ah Yao?

   Also, who the mountain ghost is, others don't know, don't you know? "

  Li Xinghua held his head and said in pain, "Why don't I know who the mountain ghost is, I brought him out before, I know him better than anyone else, but what can I do?

  The old sister-in-law was lying in the hospital, and the hospital bill alone could drive both Tietou and Junzi crazy.

  The hospital said that if you want to cure the old sister-in-law, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tietou and Junzi don’t want to implicate us at all, so how can I call you. "

   Hearing this, the excited Chen Aiguo couldn't help but be silent, how many hundreds of thousands? Maybe this is nothing to Yang Chen.

   But for Chen Aiguo, Li Xinghua and others, it is almost impossible to collect so many medical expenses in a short period of time.

   After all, in addition to taking care of themselves, these people also need to send money to their families every month. It is not easy to save a little money every year. How can they afford medical expenses of hundreds of thousands.

   After a while, Chen Aiguo looked up at Li Xinghua and asked in a deep voice, "How long have Tietou and Junzi been going to Mountain Ghost?"

   "Not long, just these few days." Li Xinghua responded subconsciously, then raised his head and looked at Chen Aiguo suspiciously.

   "Can you find them now?" Chen Aiguo felt a little relieved when he heard that Tietou and Junzi had gone to Shangui for a few days.

   "patriotic, what do you want to do?" Hearing this, Li Xinghua frowned.

   "Of course I called them both back. Do you want to see them lying dead in the street one day?"

   "But, the old sister-in-law's illness." Li Xinghua said hesitantly.

   Chen Aiguo waved his hand and said solemnly, "I'll take care of my sister-in-law's illness. I came here specifically to find you, Tietou and Junzi.

  You also know the situation on the Xiangjiang side. Although it can’t be said to be chaotic, there are countless underground forces. My current boss wants to recruit some people to be bodyguards.

  I thought of you at the first time, so you don't need to say, Iron Head and Soldier are all brought out by us.

  With those of you who know the basics, I dare to bring it to see the boss. The operation fee of the old sister-in-law is a big problem for us, but for my current boss, it is a small matter.

   I'll call him later, the old sister-in-law's matter will definitely be resolved, and then you can go to see him with me. As for the issue of salary, you can rest assured that it will definitely be twice as much as what you earn now. "

   "Patriotic, are you sure you're not kidding me?" Hearing this, Li Xinghua couldn't believe it.

   Chen Aiguo became unhappy when he saw that his old comrade in arms began to doubt himself.

   "Who am I, don't you, Lao Li, know? What kind of person am I to joke around?"

   "No, no, I'm not excited!"

   Ever since he left the army, the pressure of life has made this man who used to be stubborn to breathe.

   In order to reduce the burden on the family, Li Xinghua brought his two daughters to work in Xiangjiang. The three people’s monthly salaries, except for necessary expenses, were basically sent home.

   In addition to two daughters, there are two younger sons who are studying at home, and the wife needs to take care of the elderly parents at home, as well as the farm work at home.

  To be honest, although the three of Li Xinghua and his daughter have been in Hong Kong for two or three years, they really haven’t saved any money.

  The only big cost of living is to buy two beautiful clothes for my two daughters during the Chinese New Year and festivals. For other things, I live relatively frugally.

   "Then don't be stunned, hurry up and find Tietou and Junzi, and let Ah Yao go with you.

   As for the old sister-in-law and which hospital the old sister-in-law is in, Xiaolian and the two sisters should know, right? Let them take me there, and I'll get in touch with the boss by the way. "

   Before Li Xinghua could speak, Li Xiaoyu on the side hurriedly said, "I know which hospital Aunt Li is in. Uncle Aiguo, I will take you there."

  …

  In the Kowloon Walled City, in a casino, a bald man was picking a toothpick while looking at the two young men in front of him.

   "Tietou, Junzi, you can think about it. If you don't do it, my aunt won't have the money for surgery, and the treatment will be delayed. If you two regret it later, don't come to me again."

   Hearing this, the two young men remained silent, bowing their heads and wondering what they were thinking.

The younger brother on the side saw where the two stood silently, and said a little unhappily: "Brother Shangui, we are enough for this matter, why do you bring two more oil bottles, I think the two of them are idiots. Like this, I'm afraid it's just not useful."

   Hearing the words, the mountain ghost brows twitched, secretly saying 'not good' in his heart, he raised his hand and slapped the back of the younger brother's head.

   "Shut your stinky mouth, do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
